Pollyanna
Table of Contents
The glad play, by Catherine Chisholm Cushing, after the novel by Eleanor H. Porter. 5 males, 6 females. 2 interiors. Costumes, modern. Plays 2¼ hours. An orphan girl is thrust into the home of a maiden aunt. In spite of the trials that beset her, she manages to find something to be glad about, and brings light into sunless lives. Finally Pollyanna straightens out the love affairs of her elders, and finds happiness for herself in Jimmy. Pollyanna
gives a better appreciation of people and the world. It reflects the humor and humanity that gave the story such wonderful popularity among young and old.
Produced in New York, and for two seasons on tour. Royalty, $25.00. Price, 75 cents.
Martha By-the-Day
Table of Contents
An optimistic comedy in 3 acts, by Julie M. Lippmann, author of the Martha
stories. 5 males. 5 females. 3 interiors. Costumes, modern. Plays 2½ hours.
Full of quaint humor, old-fashioned, homely sentiment, the kind that people who see the play will recall and chuckle over tomorrow and the next day.
Miss Lippmann has herself adapted her successful book for the stage and has selected from her novel the most telling incidents, infectious comedy and homely sentiment for the play, and the result is thoroughly delightful. Royalty, $25. Price, 60 cents.
Seventeen
Table of Contents
A comedy of youth, in 4 acts, by Booth Tarkington. 8 males, 6 females. 1 exterior. 2 interiors. Costumes, modern. Plays 2½ hours.
It is the tragedy of William Sylvanus Baxter that he has ceased to be sixteen and is not yet eighteen. Seventeen is not an age, it is a disease.
In his heart William knows all the tortures and delights of love. But he is still sent by his mother on errands of the most humiliating sort and depends on his father for every nickel, the use of which he must justify before he gets it.
Silly
Bill fell in love with Lola, the Baby-Talk Lady,
a vapid little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself (and of her) he steals his father's evening clothes. When his wooings become a nuisance to the neighborhood, his mother steals them back, and has them let out to fit the middle-aged form of her husband, thereby keeping William at home.
But when it comes to the Baby-Talk Lady's
good-bye dance, not to be present was unendurable. Now William again gets the dress suit, and how he wears it at the party, and Genesis discloses the fact that the proud garment is in reality his father's makes up the story of the play.
Seventeen
is a work of exquisite human sympathy and delicious humor. Royalty, $25.00. Price. 75 cents.
